Grado just released its first Bluetooth headphones in its 65 year career. They’re called the GW100s, and they cost $250.
They retain the company’s trademark open-back design, which makes music sound incredibly clear and natural, like you’re listening to music through speakers. The downside is that sound leaks in and out, but not too much.
I was extremely impressed at how great the GW100s sounded given their price. Music was clear and detailed, although a little treble heavy. Live music stood out in particular.
My only complaint about these headphones is that they have a Micro USB port. You’ll want to keep these headphones for years, and most high-end tech is moving over to charging on USB-C.
If you have $250 and want an audiophile-worthy pair of headphones, Grado’s GW100s are your best bet.
